☆ ☆【Zoey nodded as Lakshmi answered his Lucario’s question of why he was capturing the ghosts, explaining that they don’t necessarily have time to revive them and even then they could very well go back to attacking them. That, and these ghosts clearly weren’t native to this particular area… which definitely stood out to her as very odd. In a way, it reminded her a lot of when she had lit that incense stick back in Alola that had caused all sorts of Steel types to flock towards them, even Pokemon that hadn’t even been native to the region… maybe this situation they were in wasn’t dissimilar to that. ”Huh… Ya know, maybe there might be somethin’ ‘round here that’s actually summonin’ these ghosts to the area?” she suggested, that seemed to be the only explanation that made the most sense all things considered. As they talked, they kept up their steady retreat while Ginseng and the Shadow Chimchar knocked out more ghosts as quickly as Lakshmi could capture them. At least, until a sudden bone-chilling cry from nearby caused them to halt in their retreat just as a Misdreavus made its presence known, seeming amused by its prank and espousing the reasoning for the sudden ghost Pokemon assault with a bit of coaxing from Lakshmi. It seemed there was something here, some kind of ‘power’ as the ghost mentioned that could make them stronger.
”As if ya’d stand a ghost of a chance to get at it if we got anythin’ to say ‘bout that,” Zoey retorted, ready to command her Pokemon to attack as the Misdreavus’s eyes shone dangerously at Lakshmi, causing him to stagger back. To her relief, Ginseng stepped in and knocked the ghost out before anyone could potentially get seriously hurt. ”Ya alright there, Lak?” She turned to quickly check on the man to make sure he was at least still intact physically… It seemed dealing with all these ghosts was starting to unnerve him a bit, and frankly she couldn’t blame him. Still, if what that Misdreavus had said was true, then they’d have to find whatever that thing was that was drawing them here and take care of it. It seemed Lakshmi was on the same page as well as he called for Osmanthus’s assistance, relaying the news to the Lucario and asking him to keep an eye out for anything strange.”I will help search as well, the sooner we can find what is drawing these Ghost-types in the sooner we can resolve the situation at hand,”Runa chipped in, nodding towards the other Lucario before looking to her Arcanine comrade,”Help our other companions keep the ghosts off of our tail however you can.”The large dog gave a bark of affirmation, holding a paw up to her forehead in an ‘Aye aye, captain’ gesture before turning her attention back towards their pursuers.
The group kept pushing further into the forest, Runa’s eyes carefully scanning the area in search of any unusual auras while staying wary of any ghosts that might appear to try and intercept them. Her attention went to Osma as he stopped them, saying he could pick up some kind of strange energy source coming from east of them.”Yes… I can sense it too,”she confirmed, nodding to Zoey,”It does feel similar to the auras of the Ghost-types, I feel that is the source of power they’re searching for that has been causing them to flock to this area.”Speaking of which, her head jerked up as she felt a ghostly aura startlingly close to them, a purple bird Pokemon leaping out from the trees at Osmanthus.”Look out, above you!”she called out in warning roughly the same time as Lakshmi, but thankfully Ginseng intercepted the bird before it could take Osma by surprise. The improved strength of the Medicham’s aura was palpable, Runa could tell that fighting all those ghosts in spite of being weak against them had really helped her grow so quickly. It seemed Osmanthus knew it too, she could sense the humiliation and perhaps a hint of envy in the Mega Lucario’s aura even as Lakshmi assured him that he would get his time soon enough.
Even so, there were more pressing matters to worry about, especially now that they were close to whatever it was that was summoning the ghost Pokemon here. Following Osma and Lakshmi as they led the way, a glint in the near distance indicated the object in question they had been searching for. Upon approaching, it revealed itself to be a blue paper lantern stuck in the ground, apparently having been lit as it was giving off a rather eerie glow. Huh… Zoey remembered buying a paper lantern that looked exactly like that back in Konikoni, from the looks of it the shopkeeper hadn’t been joking when they’d said it was capable of summoning spirits. Runa’s attention was focused more on the black stone tablet that lay next to the lantern, listening with interest as Lakshmi mentioned it being one of the lost plates of Arceus and that it apparently enabled it to take on a ghost typing and moves.”It’s also capable of being able to bolster the strength of any Ghost type that holds it… I can see why those ghosts were so insistent on getting ahold of it,”she murmured, casting a quick glance over her shoulder to check for any other ghosts as Lakshmi stored away the tablet. The moment the paper lantern was snuffed out, Zoey let out a breath of relief as the sky brightened again, the dark atmosphere having been dispelled at last.
”Phew, well I guess that takes care of that then, yeah?” she asked, her eyes drifting over towards Runa for confirmation. The dark-furred Lucario nodded, looking back towards the way they’d come.”Indeed… I can’t sense the ghosts anymore, so we’re at the very least safe for the moment,”she said, her brow furrowing as a troubled expression fell over her face,”That being said, however, there is still a dangerous Shadow Pokemon on the loose that we need to deal with. I can’t sense its aura in our immediate vicinity at the moment, but with the ghosts gone now it might already be aiming to come for us next.”Right, there was also that. Granted they did have a bit of respite since the Chimchar had been pretty distracted with fighting the Ghost-types while they’d been on the run, but that wasn’t of much comfort knowing that it was still somewhere out there. ”Yeah, suppose we should at least come up with a plan to try and subdue n’ capture it,” Zoey said with a nod, looking towards Lakshmi, ”Any ideas, Lak? My Pokemon n’ I are happy to help however we can, just tell us where ya might need us.” Maybe they could try to provide a means of distracting the Chimchar so Lakshmi and his Pokemon could have an easier time of pinning it down… The gears in the woman’s head were whirring as she tried to think, though she would wait patiently for Lakshmi’s input before spouting off any ideas she might have in mind.】☆ ☆

A gentle smile came to Lakshmi's face when Zoey seemed to contemplate taking up meditation to help with stress. "Well, if the mood should ever strike you, I'd be happy to lead you through a session." They offered. "I promise to keep it short. We can start with just 30 minutes, if that is more to your tastes." Lakshmi chuckled. Their breezy mood didn't last though, not when the topic of shadow pokemon was dredged up. Unfortunately, it was a necessary discussion given the current circumstances. "Foul play indeed... This was likely an unfortunate accident and the chimchar was mistreated, or a fortunate mix up in pokemon shipments, and now I have the chance to save this one instead of delivering it to the intended trainer. Rowan sounded quite shocked when he contacted us. I sincerely doubt someone would have purposefully planted it in their care, unless they simply wanted to see havoc wrought on the professor or any unfortunate trainer that happened to pick it up.... " Lakshmi's brow furrowed. To think that someone would do such a thing... It was abhorrent, a sick joke gone too far. It was a good thing Rowan discovered the problem before giving that chimchar away.
Before they could contemplate much further on the matter, a swarm of ghost pokemon began to give chase, and both Lakshmi and Zoey had to start booking it while their pokemon did their best to keep the ghosts at bay.
Osma appreciated Runa's reassurance that his defeat was not his fault, given that this was no ordinary chimchar. However, it was still mildly frustrating. A chimchar was still a chimchar, shadow or not, it had room to grow and get stronger, and yet despite how strong Osma knew he was, he was still no match for the starter. He didn't want to express such petty thoughts to Runa, but even if he said nothing now, she could probably sense it in him, festering like a disease. Osma took a deep breath and cleared his mind, setting aside the thoughts so that they didn't take root too deeply, his gaze turned fully on Runa as his new focus. "You're right. I'm sorry." Of course, his apology was more due to knowing he'd exposed some... Less than pleasant sides to himself all within the... What, twenty minutes he'd known her? He supposed that was one of the downsides for trying to impress one of his own kind; he couldn't hide anything. Not that he wanted to deceive her, but it was only natural to only want to present one's good side, and finer qualities. At least at first, anyway.
Giving his name, Osma chuckled a little in agreement when Runa suggested it had a charm to it. "It does. I enjoy my master's names, and their extensive knowledge of tea blends." His eyes narrowed with mirth and amusement as he reminisced, then inquired with his female counterpart for her name. "Runa... Fight well." He smiled, taking a stance as well.
Then they began. It was quite obvious Runa was as experienced as she touted, if not more so. Then again, Osma wasn't too surprised. He fell for her aura sphere feint and took a meteor mash to the stomach. If he hadn't been as durable as he was, Osma could tell that the meteor mash would have called the match right there and then. Osma countered with an aura sphere at point blank range, utilizing her attack to prevent her from dodging. It was a risky move, but it was too late to dodge her attack anyways, and the blast of the aura sphere was enough to push him away from Runa and get some much needed distance, since he wasn't sure he could endure another hit like that one.
Unfortunately, before they could continue, the pair of lucarios picked up on a shift in the atmosphere and had to cut their sparring match short. Osma nodded gratefully when Runa promised they could continue this another time. Obviously, they had more pressing matters to attend to, such as redirecting Ginseng and preventing her from drawing the chimchar's attention towards them and instead running while they had the chance and distraction.

Zoey raised an interesting point about something summoning ghosts to the area. "I had a hunch about that as well... Though I've never seen anything that would be able to cause such an occurrence. I only know of channelers sometimes being able to summon spirits of departed pokemon and how ghost pokemon tend to linger in certain spaces such as graveyards. This doesn't seem to fit either circumstance..." Lakshmi frowned, but they weren't dismissing Zoey's idea, simply explaining what was known to them from their personal experience.
They had a chance to ask a Misdreavus their theory since she seemed friendly enough, if not a little impish. However, after answering, she seemed to suddenly turn aggressive. Thankfully, Zoey and their pokemon came to Lakshmi's aid. Taking deep, calming breaths, Lakshmi smiled uncertainly at Zoey when she checked in, keeping a brave face even though they were clearly shaken. "I believe so... Heh... Ghost of a chance? That was good. Thank you for keeping my spirits up." Lakshmi chuckled, trying to keep the mood light and giving Zoey a playful wink.
Now that they had some confirmation that the ghosts were being drawn in by something, Lakshmi suggested that Osma try to keep a lookout for anything producing a strange aura, and they gave Runa an appreciative nod for offering to do the same. "Agreed. Thank you."
With both lucario on the lookout, they found the disturbance in almost no time and followed the trail. Unfortunately, just because they found the source didn't mean they were in the clear just yet; they still had to get to the source, which meant fending off more ghosts on the way there. Osma was nearly felled by a strange but beautiful bird pokemon, but thankfully Ginseng intervened. It was truly astounding how far Ginseng had come in such a short span of time, but it was taking a slight toll on Osma. They were rivals, it was only natural for the Lucario to feel a bit... Well, left out. He and Ginseng had fought hard to match each other as equals. It was why they butted heads so frequently, like a yin and yang. Now the balance was off kilter, but Lakshmi tried to reassure Osma that his time would come. For now, they needed him tracking, not fighting.
Eventually, they found what seemed to be the source of the abnormal number of ghosts; a strange blue paper lantern with an eerie glow. Once snuffed out, the area thankfully returned to it's normal atmosphere, and Lakshmi sighed in relief. However, they also found a dark purplish stone tablet, one that Lakshmi theorized to be a plate of Arceus. Runa made a point of mentioning that it could have also been the target of the ghosts, given that such an item would empower them. "That very well could be. Or at the very least, the power of the tablet could have been what was driving them mad... In the wrong hands, the power of these plates can cause such problems in pokemon. The power of a god among pokemon in not something to be taken lightly... In any case, I think it would be best to take it with us out of this area." Lakshmi surmised.
That seemed to quell the growing threat of the ghost pokemon. Runa couldn't sense any more, which meant that now they could focus on the other threat of the shadow chimchar in the area. "Yes... The good news is that it already has a pokeball to return to. The issue being that it's feisty enough to disobey and break out again if I try to return it. When I first let it out, it seemed tired. Perhaps Rowan and the aides put it to sleep to keep it subdued. You wouldn't happen to have any pokemon with hypnosis or sleep powder moves, would you?" Lakshmi suggested.
"Perhaps I can help with that." Offered a beautiful woman dressed in elegant celestial clothing. It was strange, as if she had appeared from nowhere. Neither Lakshmi nor Osma had sensed her presence until she spoke up. However, her face was gentle and kind, her aura just as soft and well-intentioned. "However, my assistance will not come for free. Perhaps a battle will be a worthy test?" She held a sleeved hand over her mouth as she giggled quietly in gleeful anticipation. Lakshmi looked over his pokemon, feeling about as tired as they looked. He didn't want them to wear themselves out. If battling this woman was the only way... Then... It was time to use a different pokemon.
"Jasmine... Help us out, won't you?" Lakshmi asked quietly, sending out his alolan ninetales. She regarded Lakshmi curiously. She knew it wasn't like them to encourage battles, but if that was what Lakshmi wanted, she had no real objections.

The celestial woman studied Jasmine thoughtfully and sent out a golett as her pokemon of choice. Once again, the air around them grew colder, though this time it wasn't because of the ghosts. Jasmine's frigid presence was enough to condense and freeze the moisture in the air coming from the nearby lake, causing small crystals of hail to fall near her. Lakshmi gave the pokemon a fair distance so that they weren't pelted themselves.
Why choose a ground type pokemon when fighting against an ice type? Lakshmi wondered. Though they weren't fond of battle, Lakshmi had still studied type matchups extensively in the monastery, and knew enough to see that she was at a clear disadvantage here. As if to demonstrate, Jasmine's eyes glowed a bright blue, her long flowing blue tails standing on end as she directed the hailstones to blow fiercely in a blizzard of snow, sleet, and hail at the automaton and knock it out in a single hit.
Every pokemon she sent out met a similar fate. Jasmine's attacks were far stronger than they could handle. Unlike Ginseng and Osma, who relied on raw strength, Jasmine relied on her special attacks. There wasn't much training that she needed there, other than her endurance and constitution.
Even so, as they battled, Lakshmi couldn't help but look uncomfortable, even when the woman ran out of pokemon, making Lakshmi the clear winner. "What troubles you" The woman asked with a gentle smile. "You won. You aught be happy, should you not?" She suggested, looking at Lakshmi curiously with her deep pink eyes. "No... I apologize, but I very much dislike battles. Even if it is a friendly match, it still feels... Wrong. However, I have little choice. We must get stronger if we are to protect innocent people, or subdue violent threats. Additionally, you offered no alternative for your assistance. I will, however, insist you let me heal your pokemon as thanks and apology for the match." Lakshmi began to approach her, but the mysterious woman only laughed. It was not harsh, despite the strange circumstances. "You truly have a kind heart. There is no need to worry Lakshmi. The pokemon you fought were mere illusions." She reassured him, and with that, a soft pink light enveloped her to reveal a beautiful celestial pokemon that left Lakshmi staring. That explained how she knew his name. "I apologize for the deception, but I had to be sure. Still, I am a pokemon of my word. I'd be happy to help you subdue this troublesome chimchar." She offered cheerfully.
Lakshmi could only kneel down quickly before her, bowing deeply. "M-my lady, I didn't realize....!" Lakshmi stammered, quite flustered to suddenly find himself in the presence of a cresselia. "Oh come now, there's no need for that~" The cresselia chuckled, lifting Lakshmi up with her telekinesis and setting them gently on their feet again. For the first time, Lakshmi looked truly flustered, face a rosy color in modest embarrassment as they kept their eyes cast downward. Surely he wasn't worthy to gaze upon her beauty, especially after engaging in a battle with her and speaking so crassly (in his opinion). "You're certainly an interesting one. I'm humbled by such reverence, but there really is no need. Come now, let's go find this chimchar of yours~" She hovered past Zoey, giving her a playful wink as she scouted on ahead. Lakshmi blinked a few times in surprise, but shook their head, returning Jasmine for the time being and following after the cresselia.

☆ ☆【Zoey smiled warmly as Lakshmi seemed pleased to hear about her thoughts of taking up meditation, suggesting that he would be happy to lead a session and promising to keep it short if that was better suited for her. ”Well with an offer like that I don’t see how I can possibly refuse, eh?” she suggested with a light laugh, ”I’ll definitely take ya up on that sometime. Later though, yeah?” There was a time and a place for everything, after all, and right now there were much more important matters to attend to like a Shadow Chimchar that was on the loose and causing problems for everyone. Speaking of which, Zoey couldn’t help but feel concerned about how Professor Rowan even came to have such a dangerous Pokemon in his possession in the first place. Given how Pokemon labs tended to operate when it came to training their starters, the context of the situation definitely pointed towards some sort of foul play being involved. Lakshmi seemed to agree on that notion, suggesting that there had likely been some kind of unfortunate accident and the Chimchar had been severely mistreated to the point of turning into a Shadow Pokemon. That, or perhaps it had been part of a shipment that had gotten mixed up somehow, and it had the fortune of landing in Lakshmi’s possession instead of being delivered to the intended recipient.
He did mention Rowan being rather shocked at the discovery when he had contacted them, which served to further solidify that he wasn’t a potential culprit. Not that Zoey really suspected the old man in the first place, no Pokemon professor she knew would ever do something so horrible and if they did they had no right to be called a professor at all. Her brow furrowed further at Lakshmi’s statement that he doubted someone would’ve gone out of their way to plant a Shadow Pokemon in someone’s care, unless it was intentional to have it cause trouble for the professor or for the unfortunate trainer who happened to pick it up. ”That sounds pretty likely… I mean, I’m all for a good prank but there’s definitely a fine line between harmless fun n’ outright maliciousness,” she agreed with a sharp nod, ”All things considered it’s probably for the best that ol’ Rowan gave it to ya, I’d hate to think of what could’ve happened if it’d landed in the hands of someone who actually might use it for… less than savory intent.” To think that someone could have intentionally planted such an aggressive and highly dangerous Pokemon for the sake of inflicting havoc, it made Zoey sick to her stomach. Anyone who would abuse and mistreat Pokemon to such an extreme extent and then use it as a means of harming others definitely deserved to have their lights punched out, super ******** hard. However, Lakshmi had mentioned that a Shadow Pokemon could be restored to normal, though hadn’t gone into specifics of how. Though given that such Pokemon were created by their hearts becoming completely closed off, maybe they just needed to be treated with respect and affection to reverse the process? And if it was possible for any Pokemon to potentially become a Shadow Pokemon, did that mean even legendary Pokemon could be subjected to such a cruel and heinous process too?
The very thought of it made a shiver run down Zoey’s spine, though that could’ve also been because of how cold it had suddenly gotten… Wait, it hadn’t been this dark before, had it? Something felt off… and as if to answer her question Ginseng came running with a horde of ghost Pokemon that seemed to have come out of nowhere in hot pursuit. Moving quickly, Zoey ran alongside Lakshmi as they ran further into the woods while their Pokemon worked to keep the ghosts off of their trail.
Runa offered a warm smile to Osmanthus as she reassured him that what had happened with the Chimchar hadn’t been his fault, though she could still sense the frustration rolling off of his aura in waves. It was understandable that he would be disgruntled, given that he was a fully evolved Pokemon while that Chimchar still had room to grow and become stronger. And even in spite of Osma’s strength, plus the enhancements given his Mega Evolved form, it still hadn’t been enough for him to be able to bring it down. To some extent, Runa herself could sympathize with him, though perhaps not in the same way. Even though she herself was strong, capable, and reliable, she had still felt like a failure for not being able to protect her former master… As much as she knew she wasn’t the one to blame for what had happened, she still felt like she could’ve done something… anything to have prevented the old woman from what could’ve been an avoidable fate. Taking a deep breath to clear her mind of the lingering bitter gloom, she gave a soft smile at Osma’s apology and was happy to move on to exchanging names.
Her smile widened as he agreed with her on his name having a nice charm to it, commenting that he enjoyed his master’s names and their knowledge of tea.”It certainly sounds like the two of you are quite close,”she remarked, a bit curious to know just for how long Osma and Lakshmi had been together. It was very obvious they shared a deep bond, as their kind tended to evolve when they were able to establish such a kinship with their trainers. And while it made Runa happy to see a fellow Lucario so close with their partner, it made her heart ache as well. No one would ever truly be able to replace the old woman in her eyes… That kind of close, deep connection was nigh irreplacable, that had been the primary reason why Runa herself had been reluctant for so long to find another trainer. Still, she did long to have that kind of kinship again, even if it wouldn’t be exactly the same… But she had been adamant on not sticking with just any one person when it came to her decision on who would be a worthy candidate. She was still trying to figure out what it was about Zoey in particular that had drawn her in, it was clear that the woman was charitable and kind of heart even if her appearance didn’t give off that kind of vibe and yet… something about her aura felt strange… Not in a way that made the Lucario suspicious, it had just struck her as odd and made her curious to learn more about who this woman was. Perhaps she might just decide to stay with her after this Shadow Chimchar situation was finally resolved, and Runa felt that her Arcanine companion certainly wouldn’t object to that decision either.
After reciprocating in kind and giving her own name to Osma’s question, she smirked at his statement to fight well as she readied herself for his first move. Knowing that he was Mega Evolved, it was clear he had the upper hand in terms of raw power and speed in comparison, she would need to be more precise with reading his moves and stay on the ball if she wanted to match him. It would be challenging, but Runa would happily step to it to prove herself to be just as capable even without any enhancements. Taking advantage of the opening he left when she managed to feint him with a high aimed Aura Sphere, she lunged for his middle with a Meteor Mash and struck him right in the stomach. Given the sheer power of that attack, it could’ve very well ended the match right then and there if Osma hadn’t been as durable. Her eyes flashed as he then countered with his own Aura Sphere, steeling herself since she knew she wouldn’t be able to dodge even if she had time to. Grunting as it pushed her back a bit, she dug her heels into the earth and focused on her opponent as he landed feet away from her. A strategically smart move, considering that he now had time to read her next attack and react accordingly. She narrowed her eyes as she studied his movements, looking for a potential opening she could exploit if she could move quickly enough to get in a hit.
However, before she could start making her next attack, her attention was suddenly drawn away from him as she felt the sudden presence of many, many ominous auras within close vicinity to them. She knew Osmanthus could’ve taken the opportunity to strike at her while she’d been distracted in that moment, though she felt that he was an honorable fighter and wouldn’t have resorted to such tactics. Unfortunately, however, it seemed they had to cut their fight short to focus their attention and strength on the threat of these Ghost-types that had materialized out of the blue. Content to promise to continue another time with Osma, Runa jumped in to help her Arcanine partner with fending off the ghosts while they and their trainers retreated from their ghastly pursuers and the Shadow Chimchar who had decided to make yet another appearance. Tempting as it was to try and get in an attack to knock it out while it had its back turned to them as what Ginseng had surely been thinking, Runa knew that drawing the Chimchar’s ire wouldn’t be helpful in this situation on top of dealing with the Ghost-types. Their best bet at this juncture was to retreat and perhaps find out why these ghosts were appearing so suddenly, since they certainly weren’t native to this area, and once that was resolved they could focus their undivided attention on the Shadow Chimchar issue.】☆ ☆

☆ ☆【Nonetheless, as they continued retreating deeper into the woods, Runa did admit that Zoey brought up an interesting point that perhaps the ghosts were appearing so suddenly because something was summoning them here. The woman listened as Lakshmi said that he had a hunch about the exact same thing, though he’d never seen anything that was capable of causing something like this to happen. He mentioned that channelers were able to occasionally summon the spirits of departed Pokemon, and that ghost Pokemon did tend to hang around in areas like graveyards though neither of those really fit this particular situation. ”True ‘nough there, but I’m thinkin’ that maybe it’s some sorta special item that can summon Pokemon of a particular type to a certain area,” she chipped in, ”Some time ago I got this stick o’ incense of some sort from a festival thing I went to, and when it was lit the smell of the incense caused different kinds of Steel-type Pokemon to suddenly flock towards me until it finally burnt itself out. I’m thinkin’ it might be a pretty similar case here, but y’know, with Ghost-types instead.” Logically that seemed to make the most sense to her, and hopefully explaining her own experience with something like this would provide a bit more insight for Lakshmi as well. She did appreciate that he hadn’t dismissed her suggestion, though it was clear that this kind of situation wasn’t one that he had dealt with before.
As it happened, of course, they were able to question a Misdreavus about what was going on, even though she did make a show of nearly scaring the pants off of Lakshmi when she’d appeared before them. While her answer did provide a bit more information as to why they were appearing here of all places, Zoey was still on edge about trusting the ghost, especially when she gave the man a scary look and probably would’ve attacked them if their Pokemon hadn’t intervened. With the Misdreavus dealt with, the redhead turned to check on their lavender-haired companion to make sure he was alright. She was relieved to see that he hadn’t been hurt, physically at least, though all of these ghostly encounters was clearly making him very uneasy. And frankly, she couldn’t blame him. She smiled as he assured that he was fine, quite amused by her choice of words and thanking her for keeping his spirits up. ”Heh, y’know I think ye n’ I will get along just faboolously, Lak,” she returned with a laugh and a cheeky grin, appreciating the bit of humor and unable to help herself from slipping in another quick pun.
That being said, however, now they knew that the ghosts were being drawn in by something in the area. That just left the question of where it was, since the lake was a pretty large area and it would take quite some time for them to search it up and down. Lakshmi enlisted Osma’s help to keep an eye out for anything strange, with Runa chipping in to help them since two aura readers on the lookout would help to cut down their search. The dark-furred Lucario dipped her head appreciatively at their thanks, focusing her aura radar on the area around them to detect for anything out of the ordinary as well as check for any ghosts that might be nearby. Between her and Osma, it hardly took long for them to pinpoint the source of the disturbance, though it was clear that their aggressors wouldn’t just sit back and let them at it without a fight as a purple bird popped out at them and attempted to sneak attack the Mega Lucario while his attention was elsewhere. Just as Lakshmi and Runa shouted out to warn him, Ginseng came in and took care of the threat easily, showing just how strong she’d gotten in the short time since then. Runa nodded gratefully to the Medicham, but could feel the familiar frustration emanating from Osmanthus as he took note of how strong his teammate was and felt a little left out.
It was certainly clear that the pair were rivals, constantly pushing each other to get stronger and try to match each other’s strength… It would explain why they argued so much. The idea of rivals had always been an interesting concept to Runa, even though they butted heads so frequently they also bounced off of each other quite well when they combined their strengths and worked together. She wondered what it was like to share that kind of kinship with another, though she and her Arcanine partner were more like best friends. Not that the big blue dog would likely even be open to the idea of being rivals, and even then there wasn’t much reason for them to argue with each other to begin with. Maybe she might find a Pokemon like that among Zoey’s team, or perhaps elsewhere… Still, this was hardly the time to dwell on such thoughts as they managed to find what it was that was causing the ghosts to flock to the lake in such large numbers.
Runa eyed the blue paper lantern, noting that the aura it gave off felt similar to those of the Ghost-types. She could sense more of them starting to close in on them, though when Lakshmi snuffed out the lantern they seemed to suddenly fade away. The darkness around them lifted, and the chill in the air was replaced once again by the warmth of the sun shining down from above. However, next to the lantern was a dark colored stone tablet, which, according to Lakshmi, was one of the many lost plates of Arceus. Runa listened as Lakshmi seemed to agree with her reasoning that the ghosts were so intent on getting it because it supposedly boosted their power, though it was also likely that the tablet’s power had been what was driving them mad and that in the wrong hands such plates could cause those kinds of problems for Pokemon. After all, it was supposedly an artifact of Arceus, and the power of such a being among Pokemon was not something to be underestimated.”Indeed… Though that would also beg the question of how it got here to begin with, somehow I doubt someone passing by would’ve dropped something like this so carelessly, much less simply leave it behind,”she said, narrowing her eyes in thought and nodding as Lakshmi stored it away.
With the lantern put out and the tablet now in safe hands, Runa confirmed that that seemed to have put an end to their ghost situation. However they weren’t out of the woods yet, literally and metaphorically, since there was still the matter of that Chimchar that had to be dealt with. Zoey surmised that they should at the very least come up with a plan to try to subdue and capture it, though given what they’d witnessed such a Pokemon was capable of it was easier said than done. The woman listened intently as Lakshmi explained that the Chimchar did have a Pokeball of its own, but even if it was returned it was still very feisty and aggressive and would be able to break out again even if it was contained. But apparently when it had first been released, it had appeared tired and Lakshmi suggested that Rowan and his aides had likely put it to sleep beforehand. ”Hm… I don’t think I do, unfortunately. I know Ninetales like Eir here are capable of learnin’ Hypnosis, but it requires special means to be able to do so n’ I don’t think we have anythin’ on us for that,” she said with a frown, reaching out and gently ruffling the Alolan Ninetales’s mane. Eir frowned and shook her head, somewhat disappointed that she wouldn’t be of much help.”I’m sorry I can’t really help out here, Mr. Lakshmi…”she said, looking rather crestfallen.
”Hey it’s alright, princess. It’s the thought that counts, yeah?” Zoey reassured gently, smiling softly as she lightly scratched Eir behind the ears.”I know Ryuushu like myself are capable of employing a harmless hypnotic technique for helping to calm down especially rowdy aggressors,”Sigurd spoke up, fan tail flicking back and forth a little in thought,”Unfortunately, like our Ninetales friend here, we also require special training in order to learn such a technique, and it is not one that I myself know at the moment. As much as I would like to help in such a way, I fear I am simply not capable right now.”s**t, well that certainly limited their options right off the bat. Zoey wondered if Lakshmi had any such Pokemon on his own team, though she figured that if he did then he likely wouldn’t be asking her. Maybe they could try paralysis instead? It would be a bit harsher compared to just putting it to sleep, but at the very least it would hopefully make it easier to catch and contain the little monkey. Not that Zoey wanted to resort to it if there were other alternatives, but it didn't look like they had much else to work with at their disposal otherwise...】☆ ☆

☆ ☆【Before Zoey could think to open her mouth to suggest it as a potential alternative, a new voice suddenly spoke up from nearby saying they could help. The redhead blinked in surprise, had this strange yet beautiful woman been standing with them the whole time and they hadn’t realized it until just now? Even Lakshmi, Osmanthus, and Runa were taken aback by her sudden appearance, the dark-furred Lucario narrowing her eyes somewhat at this stranger who had appeared before them out of nowhere. Still, her aura felt warm, soft, and kind, and her eyes showed no hint of any ill intent.”She seems… trustworthy,”Runa informed, nodding towards Zoey. The woman nodded back in understanding, keeping her eyes on the strange lady as she said that her assistance wouldn’t be free and suggesting a battle as a test. She seemed quite elated at the idea, while Zoey noted the discomfort on Lakshmi’s end, knowing that he disliked battling. Still, it seemed the odd lady was intent on battling him, and he sent out one of his other Pokemon to engage her. Eir was pleasantly surprised to see another one of her kind as the other Alolan Ninetales, Jasmine as Lakshmi had called her, took on a stance in preparation to fight as the woman sent out a Golett as her first Pokemon.
The battle was over almost as quickly as it had started, it was clear Jasmine had the advantage as her strong attacks knocked out each of the woman’s Pokemon one by one. Zoey noted the uncomfortable expression on Lakshmi’s face the whole time, even when he came out the clear winner in the end. The woman didn’t seem to mind how one-sided the fight had been, though she curiously asked why he seemed so troubled even though he had won. In turn, Lakshmi apologized, explaining his dislike of battles and that it had still felt wrong even if it’d been a friendly match. But he hadn’t exactly been given much of a choice, given their need to grow stronger and that she hadn’t really offered any alternatives for her help. As he insisted that she let him heal her Pokemon as thanks and an apology, she simply laughed lightly and dismissed his worries that all the Pokemon he’d fought were simple illusions.”Illusions… That would explain why their auras had felt so oddly faint,”her eyes looked towards Osma for confirmation, perhaps he had felt something off about them as well?
That being said, however, what surprised everyone the most was when the woman revealed her true form, a radiantly beautiful celestial Pokemon of gold, pink, and blue with a sort of swan-like elegance about her.”Cresselia…”Runa breathed, closing her eyes and bowing her head deeply out of respect for the legendary. The Cresselia apologized for the deception, saying that she had to be certain before revealing herself and assuring them that she’d gladly help them with their Chimchar troubles. Lakshmi knelt before her, hastily apologizing before the beautiful legendary dismissed his worries and formalities as she lifted him back to his feet, assuring that while she was humbled there was no need for anything like that.
Zoey, who had been too dumbfounded by what was going on to say anything, blinked again as the Cresselia beckoned them to come along to find the troublesome monkey as she moved to hover on ahead of them and tossed a playful wink her way as she passed by the woman. ”Heh, y’know I think I like her already~” she spoke up after regaining her composure, chuckling softly as she gestured for her Pokemon to come as they followed along with the Cresselia, ”Ya feelin’ alright, Lak?” She looked over towards her companion, wondering what he was thinking of this whole situation. Granted it was a lot to take in, and it certainly wasn’t every day one got to meet a legendary Pokemon up close and in person. Granted, her reaction had been much different when she’d first met Storm, her Zeraora, at the Spookival, but still!
As they caught up with their new Cresselia companion, Zoey couldn’t help but wonder what it was she intended to do to help. ”Hey, uh, Cresselia was it?” she spoke up, the legendary probably had a name but if so, she hadn’t mentioned it yet, ”I don’t suppose ya’d need any assistance? I mean, somehow I highly doubt that Chimchar’s gonna just sit still n’ wait patiently while ya work yer hypnosis magic. So if ya might need any help, my Pokemon and I will be glad to lend a hand however we can.” If anything, they could at least help to pin it down to make her job a bit easier while also ensuring that it wouldn’t just try to scamper off again. Granted it would be risky, but Zoey felt sure that most of her Pokemon would be able to at least take a couple hits even from a Shadow Pokemon. Not that Zoey doubted the Cresselia could handle the situation on her own given her legendary power, but it never hurt to offer a helping hand just in case, right? After all, that Shadow Chimchar had been able to take out a pair of fully evolved Pokemon that otherwise should've naturally been stronger in comparison. If even a legendary Pokemon couldn't stand a chance against it, then they'd be in some real deep s**t then.】☆ ☆

Lakshmi was glad that Zoey was willing to take them up on the offer of meditating some time in the future. "Yes, I would not ask you to try and meditate at this point in time. It would be quite difficult to relax, I'm sure. We would need to find a safer, more relaxing space first." Lakshmi agreed with a chuckle. Not only was it not safe, but the chimchar was also Lakshmi's responsibility and they didn't wish to shirk it.
And speaking of which, the two soon began discussing the details of shadow pokemon, how they come to be, and theorizing on how this chimchar got to be that way. After all, since Zoey was determined to help, Lakshmi wanted her to be as informed as possible. "Yes... There is a balance in all things, and a little mischief is usually harmless. Used properly, it can humble and help others to grow. However, this would go far beyond such things if it were indeed a mean prank." Zoey also seemed to be relieved that Lakshmi was able to retrieve the chimchar before it fell into the wrong hands, or worse, less capable hands.
Osma smiled when Runa commented on his close relationship with Lakshmi, however, he could also sense a bittersweet ache deep in her heart, one that made him feel a pang of sympathy even though he didn't know what it was that caused her to feel that way. He wouldn't pry unless Runa felt like talking about it. For now, he was more than happy to have them both focusing on their sparring match. Osma was quite proud of his counter aura sphere tactic after suffering such a substantial blow from her meteor mash, but before they could finish, the match had to be cut short. As Runa presumed, he didn't try to take advantage of her distracted state. After all, he could sense it too; a dozen or so ghostly auras suddenly swarming the area and forcing them to make a temporary retreat.
As they considered what could have caused such an influx of ghosts, Zoey suggested that perhaps it was an item similar to incense she had once found, which attracted steel type pokemon instead of ghosts. "How interesting... If that is indeed the case, then it would certainly explain where these ghosts came from." Lakshmi agreed thoughtfully, and after a rather startling encounter with a Misdreavus, Zoey was quick to cheer them up with some ghost puns. "I am de-fright-ed to hear it." It was hard to think of a good retort given the situation, but Lakshmi seemed to manage alright.

Eventually, the two trainers managed to find the source of the aura attracting all of the ghosts, an eerie blue paper lantern next to a plate of Arceus imbued with ghostly aura. "Given that the lantern was next to this plate, I would say that it was almost certainly placed here deliberately. The real question is who, and why?" Lakshmi asked sharply, their soft countenance hardening into something so fiercely severe that it was quite startling even for Osma and Ginseng. This was someone who was slow to anger, and even this did not get truly angry very often, but this... This crossed a line. To abuse such a holy artifact and cause the suffering of so many ghost pokemon…. He would find whoever did this. The fury within Lakshmi died down almost as soon as it came, despite it's extremity. When he did, Osma and Ginseng were able to relax again.
Now that the ghosts were taken care of, they could fully devote their attention to the chimchar again, who would almost certainly be coming after them as well. If they had a way to put it to sleep, Lakshmi surmised it would be quite simple to put it back in its pokeball again. However, it seemed none of their pokemon knew or were able to learn a move like Hypnosis without special training. "I see... That is unfortunate, but no matter. We will just have to find another way." Lakshmi nodded. However, Eir seemed quite saddened that she couldn't help. "My dear, you have nothing to apologize for." Lakshmi smiled gently at the crestfallen Ninetales while Zoey gave her reassuring ear scratches. Siguard was also unfortunately in a similar predicament, which left them still stuck at square one.
That was, until a mysterious woman appeared and offered her help in exchange for a battle with Lakshmi. The group was understandably tense with her sudden arrival. After all, somehow her presence hadn't even been detected by several aura readers in the area until she spoke up. Nevertheless, she was deemed as trustworthy--to a point. So, Lakshmi reluctantly agreed and battled with her, winning quite handily even though the monk clearly wasn't happy about it. When the strange woman pointed this out, Lakshmi explained their distaste of battle. However, their concern was apparently unfounded, given that the pokemon they fought were illusions. Jasmine was mildly relieved to hear that. She had felt quite bad, beating her opponents so handily. She wasn't paying much attention to the conversation after that, casting a cursory glance around at her new surroundings now that she was no longer facing the threat of battle. This was certainly not the snowy mountainous region of Mt. Silver that she was used to. Then, her soft eyes landed on another Alolan Ninetales like herself looking quite intently at her, and she tilted her head a bit, tails swishing a little lazily side to side in content interest. Though she didn't say anything, her body language was friendly and inviting, if the other ice type wanted to come greet her.
In the meantime, Lakshmi was quite surprised to find that a Cresselia had been in their midst the whole time, slowly overcoming his shock as they followed her. The monk gave a light chuckle as Zoey spoke up first, insisting that she quite liked the legend already. "I... Yes... I think I'm just.... Processing, I suppose." Lakshmi had been pretty quiet, so it made sense Zoey was checking in. "I hadn't really ever thought I would meet one in person. I just feel... Unprepared?" A thoughtful look crossed Lakshmi's face. "It just feels like a dream, and perhaps I'm still waiting to wake up." They chuckled a little sheepishly. It was fitting to have a Cresselia in one's dreams, after all.
The Cresselia glanced over to Zoey as she tries to get her attention. "Yes, dear? Oh, and you can call me Liánchá. or Auntie Lian. Like those cute little tea names you love so much, isn't that right my sweet little monk?~" She smiled affectionately at Lakshmi, who immediately blushed and averted their gaze. Somehow, when she put it that way, it felt so embarrassing. Not in a bad way, per se, but Lakshmi felt much like a child whose parent was gushing about their baby to anyone who would listen, leaving Lakshmi feeling both weirdly proud and also a little patronized. It was truly bewildering.
"Hmm~ Yes, someone will probably need to hold it still so that it doesn't run off or try to attack me. If you have a big strong pokemon that can do the job, I certainly won't complain." She suggested cheerfully when Zoey offered to help. She made her way towards the edge of the lake, out of the surrounding forest they had been in previously. "If we wait in the forest, we'd be sitting duckletts. There's far too much of an element of surprise for the chimchar there. Here, at least, there is an even playing field because it won't be able to sneak up on us." She insisted with a bit of a huff.

☆ ☆【Between Osma and Runa scouting out for anything out of the ordinary, it hardly took long for them to locate the culprit behind the ghosts. The dark-furred Lucario eyed the dark purplish plate with suspicion, unable to help but wonder how such an artifact came to be in a place like this to begin with. Given that it was a sacred treasure belonging to Arceus… it hardly seemed likely that someone passing through here would’ve dropped it and left it behind so carelessly. There was also the fact that it had been placed next to that blue paper lantern when it had been lit, which had clearly been done deliberately… Lakshmi seemed to think the same thing, though that still left a few questions like who had been responsible for this and why. Runa bit her lip nervously as she felt a newfound fury flare up within the lavender-haired monk, if only for a brief minute.”Hmm… This might be a bit of a stretch, but perhaps whoever was behind this had also been responsible for the Shadow Chimchar being placed in Rowan’s care?”she inquired,”I had not sensed any other auras that would’ve indicated the presence of someone else being here prior to the ghosts showing up… Still, the idea that someone had intentionally set something like this up, either as a trap or simply to spread chaos, is perturbing nonetheless.”
Zoey’s brow furrowed as she considered Runa’s question. ”Maybe? I mean, it could be possible, but we ain’t got any way to prove they’re connected. At least not right now,” she suggested, ”Still, if we ever find who’s responsible for this, they’re definitely gettin’ a good n’ proper beatdown.” She cracked her knuckles and slammed a fist into her palm as she spoke the last bit, if this whole setup was meant to be some kind of prank then it sure as hell wasn’t funny. However, considering Runa’s suggestion that this might’ve been meant to be a trap or to simply sew chaos… Zoey had to wonder if maybe someone actually was out there watching them even though she hadn’t sensed the aura of any other humans in the area, because someone obviously had to light that lantern in order to summon the ghosts here and it sure as hell hadn’t been one of them. As much as she didn’t want to entertain the idea that they were probably being stalked by some unknown malefactor, it was a possibility that couldn’t be ignored.
However, they didn’t have much time to dwell on that for now, with the issue of the ghosts now resolved there was still that loose Shadow Chimchar that had to be taken care of. Lakshmi brought up a good suggestion that they could utilize Hypnosis or Sleep Powder, as it seemed Rowan and his aides had put the Chimchar to sleep in order to keep it subdued while it was kept in its ball. Returning it back to its Pokeball would be simple enough, but given how aggressive it was it would surely try to escape the moment they’d try to contain it. Unfortunately, neither Zoey nor Lakshmi had any Pokemon on hand that knew or were capable of learning such moves, at least not without some kind of special training. Eir offered a small smile at Lakshmi’s reassurance when she felt rather downtrodden for not being able to help, leaning her head contentedly into Zoey’s hand as she was scratched behind the ears. Sigurd was in a similar position as well, which meant that they would need to start considering some other alternatives seeing as they were severely strapped for options.
Suddenly, as if to answer their questions, a mysterious woman who carried a celestial elegance about her practically materialized out of nowhere, offering to lend them her assistance in exchange for a battle against Lakshmi. Zoey was surprised and immediately suspicious of this stranger, understandably so since even the aura readers in the group hadn’t even picked up on her presence until she had explicitly announced herself to them. And it certainly didn’t help that they’d been discussing the possibility of someone else following them around and causing trouble earlier… Still, Runa seemed to sense that she bore no ill intent, assuring the redhead and the others that the celestial robed woman was trustworthy enough. With discomfort and reluctant agreement on Lakshmi’s part, the two of them engaged in a clearly very one-sided battle as Jasmine easily blew their opponents away with a series of strong attacks. Even when he was deemed the clear winner, Zoey could see how uncomfortable the monk was as he explained his distaste of fighting and offered to heal the woman’s Pokemon as an apology and thanks for the battle. To her surprise, however, the woman simply dismissed his concerns and assured him that all the Pokemon he’d fought had simply been illusions.
The whole time during the battle, Eir’s eyes had remained fixated on the other Alolan Ninetales, admiring how gracefully she fought even though she seemed rather guilty at how easily she’d beaten their opponents. With the heat of the battle now having passed, Eir was tempted to dart right over to the other fox to try and strike up a conversation but held back her excitement. It had been far, far too long since she’d last seen another one of her kind, her head swam with feelings of joy and curiosity. Still, she wasn’t even sure if the other fox might be friendly, or if she'd even want to talk. Eir stiffened when suddenly she noticed the other Ninetales staring back at her, though it seemed Jasmine was quite curious about her as well as she tilted her head slightly and languidly waved her tail in an inviting gesture. Well, it wouldn’t hurt to at least say hello, right? Offering a kind, toothy smile and wagging her tails Eir padded closer towards Jasmine, unable to help but feel a touch nervous as the other had yet to say even a single word ever since she was sent out.
”Hi! I mean, hello!”she greeted excitedly, unable to help herself,”Jasmine, right? My name’s Eir! Nice to meet you!”She could hardly contain her elation now that she was much closer to the other, though she did her best to keep herself composed as best she could as she lowered her head slightly.”Ah, heh… Please excuse my excitement, you have no idea how long it’s been since I last saw another one of my kind, much less another Ninetales~”she added quickly, maintaining a reasonable enough distance between them so they could comfortably talk among each other. Eir wondered how Jasmine had come to be acquainted with Lakshmi, if he might have traveled to Alola at some point in time or if maybe they had met under similar circumstances as she had with Zoey. So many questions buzzed around her head but she held her tongue in favor of letting Jasmine speak her piece first, not wanting to annoy the other by smothering her right away with numerous queries.】☆ ☆

☆ ☆【Meanwhile, to the shock and surprise of all who witnessed it the woman revealed herself to be a Cresselia in disguise, taking the lead as she scouted on ahead in search of the Chimchar. It took Zoey a moment to recover from the initial shock, smiling as she gestured for her Pokemon to follow along and checking in with Lakshmi. It was… definitely a lot to absorb, especially having met a legendary up close and in person, so she certainly couldn’t blame him for not having much to say. She nodded as he assured that he was fine and that he was just processing the situation, mentioning that he had never thought he’d meet a legendary in person and admittedly felt unprepared. ”Yeah, that’s usually how it is. I’ll admit I felt similarly the first time I met a legendary Pokemon too, even though I hadn’t known it actually was one at the time,” she offered lightly with a little laugh. In all fairness, she hadn’t known anything about the Tapus in general, much less actually seen one the first time she’d met Tapu Bulu in the Haina Desert. Admittedly seeing the big floating bull-like creature hovering above her had been pretty scary to a then seven year old, but she soon came to accept the gentle guardian as a friend over the years. Hopefully her old friend had been holding up well since the last time they’d seen each other, maybe she ought to visit the Ruins of Life again when she eventually returned to Alola.
A smirk crossed her lips at Lakshmi’s statement about how this whole scenario felt like a dream. ”Heh, well I can pinch ya just to make sure~” she suggested playfully, miming the gesture with her fingers with a soft chuckle. As they caught up to their new Cresselia companion, Zoey figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask what it was she had in mind to deal with the Chimchar and if they might be able to help her out. The Cresselia answered in kind as the redhead grabbed her attention, insisting that they could called her Liánchá or ‘Auntie Lian’ and proceeding to fawn over Lakshmi about his ‘cute little tea names’ and causing the monk’s face to light up bright red. Zoey smirked in amusement, unable to help but find it rather funny in a strange way how the Cresselia admonished the monk like a proud mother showering her child with praises. It was pretty clear Lakshmi wasn’t quite sure of how to handle this kind of treatment, and frankly Zoey couldn’t blame him. ”I think Lian will work just fine for me if ya don’t mind, auntie~” she said with a light laugh. She listened carefully as the Cresselia went on to suggest that someone would probably have to hold down the Chimchar so that it wouldn’t try to run off or attack her, and if Zoey had a Pokemon that could fit the job she wouldn’t mind the help.
”Well I’m sure I’ve got at least a couple that’ll fit the bill just fine,” she said, reaching for her belt and grabbing Lukas’s Pokeball, tapping the button to release the Incinceroar, ”C’mon out, Lukas, we’re gonna need ya for this one.” The tall, black and red cat wrestler materialized next to them, taking a moment to carefully eye their apparent new company with a wary gaze before looking towards Zoey curiously, wondering what it was he was being summoned for. ”We’ll need ya to help out the lady here with pinnin’ down a dangerous Chimchar so she can put it to sleep n’ we can contain it without any fuss. Think yer up for it, big guy?” she asked, nodding towards the Cresselia and giving the cat an encouraging pat on the arm. The Incineroar was easily one of the strongest on her team, and surely he’d be able to take at least a few hits from a Shadow Pokemon before being severely weakened or knocked out. At least she would hope so… Lukas wasn’t entirely sure of what the situation was or what this ‘dangerous’ Chimchar was, but if his trainer needed his help then he certainly wouldn’t refuse. The Incineroar nodded, flashing a confident grin as his belt glowed with eager energy at the prospect of being able to showcase his strength.
With a more or less solid plan in mind, Zoey glanced around as the Cresselia ended up leading them out of the woods and towards the banks of the lake. The legendary reasoned that it would be easier for the Chimchar to sneak up on them if they stayed in the forest, and that they’d be more on even ground here. ”Yeah, that definitely makes sense,” she agreed, ”That monkey’s definitely a slippery lil’ b*****d, plus it’d be best to not let it get the drop on us if it can be helped…” Now all that was left was to figure out how to lure it out of hiding, even if it was technically targeting them it had at least been cautious enough to not outright attack Zoey’s camp earlier due to the presence of so many strong Pokemon.”Perhaps we could try to lure it out here with food? It seemed to have been drawn in by the scent of those pastries when it had showed up near Zoey’s camp earlier,”Runa suggested, holding a paw to her muzzle contemplatively as she did a cursory scan of the area in search of any sign of that familiar overpoweringly ominous aura. It could be watching them from somewhere nearby but being cautious of attacking, and with so many Pokemon around it might need a bit more incentive to show itself.】☆ ☆

Lakshmi gave some thought to the suggestion that perhaps the person responsible for creating the shadow Chimchar also had a hand in placing the plate and lantern. "If that is the case, then we are dealing with a formidable foe indeed. That, and I'd be in quite a pickle, having drawn the attention and possible ire of this figure by taking the Chimchar away from Rowan or the intended recipient." Lakshmi frowned, though the idea didn't seem to terrify them as much as it probably should have. Zoey was right after all, they had no proof there was any connection at all, and even if they did, there wasn't much they could do about it right now without any leads. They did, however, have the ability to capture the Chimchar and put it back in its pokeball with Cresselia's help, so Lakshmi was more than happy to focus on that task instead of worrying about everything else.
While the trainers discussed a plan of action, Jasmine motioned to Eir that she was free to approach her if she wished, though the other alolan ninetales was a lot more... Energetic than Jasmine initially anticipated. Not that she was off-put by it, but it was a little overwhelming at first. Gradually, Jasmine regained her composure and nodded slowly as Eir introduced herself and apologized for her excitement. "Eir… Hello. Yes, I am Jasmine. Excitement is... Good. Sorry, I do not talk often." She explained. It wasn't that she didn't know how, or didn't want to talk, rather she was a Ninetales of few words, preferring to listen than talk herself most of the time. "No, there are not many Ninetales here. We are far from home." She agreed, glancing around the lake once again. "I have never left the mountain before now."
After Liancha revealed her true form and set about finding the Chimchar so they could lure it to sleep and potentially capture it, Zoey seemed to notice that Lakshmi was a little out of sorts from the encounter and checked in. "You have met a legendary as well?" Lakshmi's eyebrows rose in surprise. Not that they didn't think Zoey could meet one, but it was certainly a rare occurrence. Lakshmi was curious to hear such a story, but perhaps it could be told another time, when they weren't hurriedly chasing down a shadow pokemon. Lakshmi chuckled when Zoey offered to pinch them to make sure this wasn't a dream. "Haha. Let us finish catching this troublesome Chimchar first, then I might take you up on that offer." They suggested.
Until then, Lakshmi would just have to put up with the oddly embarrassingly affectionate treatment that Liancha gave them. The monk didn't miss how amusing Zoey found the situation, happily playing along with the Cresselia. However, she also did honestly want to help Liancha capture the Chimchar. To do that, they needed a strong pokemon to hold it down while Liancha put it to sleep. Zoey's pokemon of choice, however, was a large feline whose dark typing set Lakshmi a little on edge. Especially since it was so strong. Still, Lakshmi didn't want to jump to any judgements or conclusions. Lukas seemed... Eager enough. "Just remember that we're looking to restrain, not knock it out..." Lakshmi added hesitantly.
Liancha led them to the middle of the lake. There, out in the open, they wouldn't be quite as at-risk for the chimchar to get the element of surprise on them. The problem was luring it out in spite of the clear disadvantage. "Oh, yes, of course! Food should do it. Poor little dear is probably pretty hungry." Liancha agreed with Runa's suggestion. "I do have a number of berries on me... Perhaps that will suffice?" Lakshmi suggested, digging into their bag and pulling out a handful to sprinkle obviously around their position in a wide circle. They were far enough away from the berries to be tempting, but close enough to see if the chimchar did go after them. "Perfect!~ And now, we wait..." Liancha hummed happily. Lakshmi sighed and turned to Zoey once they were done scattering the berries about. "Perhaps now you can tell me about your previous experience encountering a legendary...?" Lakshmi asked with interest.

☆ ☆【Runa’s suggestions didn’t bode very good implications that perhaps the two incidents regarding the Shadow Chimchar and bringing the ghosts by setting up the lantern and plate were done by the same person. After giving it some thought, Zoey felt that they shouldn’t outright dismiss it, but even so they didn’t have an evidence that they were potentially connected. And even if they were, they didn’t exactly have anything in the way of leads that could at least point them towards a potential culprit. She nodded as Lakshmi said that if by chance these two incidences were done by the same person, then they would be dealing with quite a dangerous enemy. It was possible that he could’ve drawn some unwanted attention to himself by taking the Chimchar away from Rowan or whoever was meant to be the intended recipient. Zoey had to wonder if maybe Lakshmi or any of his Pokemon had noticed anyone who seemed particularly suspicious on their way out from Twinleaf, though surely if they had they would’ve mentioned something about it by now. Still, the idea that they were probably being stalked by someone who harbored ill intent towards both of them or perhaps towards Lakshmi alone was a disturbing one nonetheless…
Even so, they ought to focus more on the issue at hand regarding that Shadow Chimchar that was still at large, which a Cresselia was happy to offer her assistance with subduing and containing it. They had lost track of it due to having to run away from the sudden ghost invasion, so there was no telling where it might be in relation to them now. Still, with Runa keeping her extrasensory radar on high alert for it, it wasn’t anywhere near them right now otherwise she would’ve definitely alerted them to its presence. Zoey caught the dark-furred Lucario’s eye momentarily, the aura Pokemon giving a reassuring nod and a small grin in return.
As their trainers and their new legendary company discussed among themselves, Eir found herself curious about the other Alolan Ninetales. When Jasmine signaled her to approach she was all too happy to take up the invitation, though found herself a bit nervous since the other hadn’t exactly said anything so far. As Eir introduced herself, Jasmine was clearly taken aback by her excited demeanor and needed a moment to compose herself as she slipped in a hasty apology for her overzealousness. She smiled as the other greeted her back, assuring her that excitement was good and apologizing as she wasn’t really one for a lot of talk. That would certainly explain why she’d been so quiet before… still, Eir was pleased to be able to strike up a conversation and that she hadn’t warded the other off somehow. She nodded as Jasmine voiced her agreement that there weren’t many other Ninetales here, and that she had never left the mountain before up until now.”Oh! You mean Mount Silver, right?”she asked, since Lakshmi had mentioned living with the monk folks who dwelled there,”I’ve never been there before, is it a bit like Mount Lanakila? Are there other Ninetales like us that live there too?”She couldn’t help but be curious, she had never really seen much of the world outside of her home den on Mt. Lanakila until she’d been unceremoniously taken away and ended up in a completely different region and environment. Still, this Mt. Silver place sounded interesting… perhaps she and Zoey might end up finding themselves there someday if they were going to be doing so much worldly exploring.
Meanwhile, with their new Cresselia companion by their side, the trainers and their Pokemon set out to find and deal with the Chimchar with the idea of hypnotizing it to sleep before capturing it to ensure that it wouldn’t try to break out again. Lakshmi, however, seemed a bit out of it from what had happened earlier, though Zoey could understand that it was pretty surreal to actually meet a legendary Pokemon up close and in person. He was quite surprised to hear that she had encountered one as well, surprisingly more curious than skeptical. Most other people likely would’ve brushed it off as a preposterous claim, especially since Zoey herself didn’t exactly have any evidence to prove her story to be true. Well, she did of course have Zeraora with her, though maybe she ought to be a bit more careful about just showing Storm to anyone and everyone she met. Especially since a lot of major crime syndicates out there often sought out legendary Pokemon to exploit for their own purposes. ”Yeah, surprisingly,” she admitted with a small smile, ”Well, in all fairness I’ve actually met two, to be exact.” She wouldn’t mind sharing those stories with Lakshmi if he pressed for more information, though that could wait for the time being when they weren’t busying themselves with pursuing a shadow Pokemon. The redhead chuckled as Lakshmi said he’d consider her offer to pinch him to make sure this wasn’t a dream, at least when they had finished catching that Chimchar that had been giving them so much trouble. ”Sure, if ya say so~” she chipped in lightly, giving him a playful wink.
Zoey certainly couldn’t blame Lakshmi for feeling pretty embarrassed by Liancha’s rather affectionate admonishing towards him, even though she couldn’t help but find it rather amusing all the same as she played along with the legends antics. Hopefully the monk wasn’t offended by it, not that there was really much else that she could do as far as the situation was concerned. That and she’d rather not possibly invoke the wrath of a legendary by trying to order it around… While Liancha certainly seemed pleasant enough, it was those types that could be the scariest when their fury was invoked and Zoey would rather not be in her crosshairs if that ever happened. Even so, she was glad to pitch in to help however she could since Liancha would need some assistance, calling out Lukas to help them with pinning down the Shadow Chimchar when it would finally show up.
The Incineroar was happy enough to lend a helping hand, though Lakshmi quickly added in that they were only going to restrain the little monkey instead of outright knocking it out. ”Yeah, don’t go overboard, alright? We just need to keep it from attackin’ n’ gettin’ away so we can put it to sleep and capture it,” Zoey agreed, shooting Lukas a stern look to ensure he understood. While the Incineroar liked letting loose and going all out on his opponents, this would require a bit more restraint than what he was used to. Lukas’s confidence deflated a bit at that, a little disappointed at not being able to demonstrate his strength as much as he would’ve liked but still eager to help them out however he could. The wrestler cat nodded in understanding, flexing his claws as his determined smile was renewed. ”Just be careful, alright? This Chimchar’s a lot more dangerous than ya might be thinkin’, I don’t want ya gettin’ hurt out there,” the woman added quickly. Even though it sounded like a pretty solid plan, there was still a lot of room for things to potentially go wrong. Lukas was certainly strong, sure, but this was their first time dealing with a Shadow Pokemon even if it wasn’t a particularly powerful one…
”While it might be unlikely, my partner and I can help to provide damage control in case something goes wrong. If anything we could prevent or at the very least delay it from escaping should it happen to wriggle free,”Runa offered, sharing a glance with her Arcanine friend who nodded her agreement. While the dark-furred Lucario lacked the enhancements of her Mega Evolved counterpart, she was still quick enough on her feet to be able to reasonably outpace a Chimchar. And between the two of them, they should be able to take at least a couple solid hits before being knocked out. Zoey nodded appreciatively to them, risky as it was they would definitely need as much help as they could get if they wanted this plan to succeed.
Liancha did make a good point for them setting up their ambush towards the middle of the lake, especially since the forest offered a lot of tree cover that the Chimchar could use to its advantage given how small and limber it was. Plus being out in the open like this would ensure that they were on an even playing field, though that did leave the question of how they were going to lure it out here since it surely wouldn’t pop out of hiding to attack them just like that. Runa suggested that perhaps it might come out if they left some food for it, since it had been likely drawn in towards Zoey’s picnic earlier by the aroma of the malasadas. ”Yeah, berries should work just fine,” the woman agreed with Lakshmi’s suggestion, rummaging around in her bag and pulling out some berries of her own to toss in. Carefully, the two trainers sprinkled their shares all around in a large circle, so that they were far away enough to draw out the Chimchar while also being close enough to them so they could set their plan in action if it did show up.
”Right, let’s hope this works,” Zoey murmured, now all that was left was to wait and see if their berry trap would work to lure the Shadow Pokemon out of wherever it might be hiding out at. Runa kept vigilant for the time being, scanning the forest with a sharp eye and watching for that telltale aura to show up on her sensory radar. Lukas, in turn, got into position in preparation to pounce on their target once the opportunity showed itself. With everything in place and their plan ready to be initiated when it came to be time, Zoey turned her attention towards Lakshmi as he asked about her previous experience with encountering a legendary. ”Sure thing, I’d be glad to share an interestin’ story, at least hopefully ye’ll think so,” she suggested with a light laugh, humming thoughtfully as she tried to figure out where to start. ”I ain’t sure how much ya know ‘bout Alola, but each of the four islands in the region have their own sorta guardian deities called the Tapus. And the people give offerin’s to ‘em n’ ask for their blessin’s, ‘specially when it comes time for a new island Kahuna to be inducted,” she started, holding up her fingers as she listed each one off, ”Tapu Koko watches over Melemele, Tapu Lele claims Akala as her home, Tapu Bulu inhabits the wilderness of Ula’Ula, and Tapu Fini’s jurisdiction lies with Poni Island.” From what she could tell, Lakshmi certainly seemed like a very well read person, so he likely already knew quite a bit about Alola even if he hadn’t exactly visited the region before. Still, she wanted to at least provide a bit of context before launching into her story, and hopefully he didn’t mind it too much in case he more or less already knew what she’d explained. ”But anyways, the Tapus don’t often show themselves to people, well aside from Tapu Koko since he’s the most curious of the bunch. So it’s considered a great blessin’ if ya catch a glimpse or meet one of ‘em face to face,” she continued, ”So… funnily enough, the first time I went to Alola I, uh… actually had the fortune of meetin’ Tapu Bulu out in the Haina Desert.”
Of course, her encounter with Tapu Bulu had been fortunate for more than just the opportunity of meeting a guardian deity in the flesh… And Zoey couldn’t help but wince inwardly at the mention of the desert. She still wasn’t thrilled about the prospect of having to pass through that accursed place to get to the Ruins of Abundance, but at the very least being able to fly would spare her a long, arduous journey being subjected to the harsh sandstorms and grueling heat. ”Granted I was only seven years old at the time, so… seein’ this big, bull lookin’ thing hoverin’ over me was pretty freaky. It was huge as hell n’ I had no idea what it even was, so I guess my lil’ kid brain naturally defaulted to it bein’ some kinda monster that wanted to eat me,” she said, chuckling sheepishly at the childish thought, ”To be honest, though, Tapu Bulu’s actually a big ol’ sweetheart when ya get to know ‘em. The native folk say he’s pretty lazy, but Tapu Bulu just prefers to avoid unnecessary conflict if it can be helped. He’ll ring the bell on his tail to let others know where he is, and he takes care of other Pokemon by makin’ plants grow to help feed ‘em n’ such.”
She was admittedly leaving out a lot of the, well, not so nice bits behind the circumstances leading up to her meeting the guardian deity of Ula'Ula… Zoey didn’t want to deceive Lakshmi, of course, she'd prefer not to outright lie to others if it could be helped. And he seemed very kind and trustworthy from what she gauged of him thus far, but even then she’d only met him what… about half an hour ago? Hopefully he'd understand her reasons, though. ”Y’know, I think the two of ya would get on pretty well with each other if ye could meet him,” she suggested with a warm smile, ”That’s part of why I chose to take up my Pokemon journey in Alola. It’s been years since the last time I met with Tapu Bulu, n’ I’ve been really wantin’ to see him again. I just hope he’s been holdin’ up alright, what with all these criminals runnin’ ‘round nowadays...” In all fairness Team Skull was considered more of a nuisance in Alola than any sort of actual threat, and even then they never really tried to mess around with the Tapus, but still… Zoey just hoped she could see her precious friend safe and unharmed by the time she was able to find him again.】☆ ☆

Jasmine nodded when Eir seemed to pick up on the fact that 'home' in Jasmine's eyes was Mount Silver. "Yes... Both are covered in snow. Kantonian Vulpix and Ninetales that migrated there adapted to the weather like Alolan ones." It wasn't too surprising, since the weather and climate were so similar. "It is warmer here..." She added, glancing about the lake. It wasn't unpleasant, per se. Just different. She wasn't really sure what to think of it.
Lakshmi was in awe to hear that Zoey had not met just one legendary, but in fact two. They would certainly be eager to hear more about it later, along with maybe a pinch to make sure this was all real. For now though, Lakshmi and Zoey focused on teaming up with Liancha to try tackling this Chimchar threat. Between the Cresselia's ability to induce pokemon to sleep and Lukas' strength, hopefully they could lure the Chimchar to them, grab it, then put it to sleep and back in it's pokeball. That being said, Lakshmi was still fairly nervous trusting a dark type pokemon not to go overboard on something like this, especially one such as an Incineroar who were known for their brutal displays of power. Thankfully, Zoey seemed to side with Lakshmi on this one, sternly telling Lukas to keep himself in check.
Although he seemed reluctant and a little disappointed, Lukas agreed with a nod. If not for Lakshmi's trust in Zoey and her ability to keep her team in check, the monk would have been absolutely against using such a pokemon. Even now, they didn't have a great feeling about it, but were trying to keep their own bias in check. It would be hypocritical to judge Lukas like that without giving him a chance. Taking a deep breath, Lakshmi tried to still their nerves. "Yes... This is quite a delicate situation. If we fail here, I'm not sure if we'll get another chance to contain it." Lakshmi said rigidly, chewing the inside of their cheek out of nervous habit. Thankfully, Runa and her Arcanine partner were also willing to step in as a back up. Surely with so many failsafes, they would be successful? Lakshmi nodded in thanks to the pokemon and set about sprinkling berries with Zoey as bait, and then they just needed to wait and hope.
To help take their mind off of the tension, Lakshmi asked Zoey about the legendary encounter she'd had. "Ah, yes, I have read about the tapus briefly." Lakshmi agreed with interest, listening intently as Zoey described the different totem guardians for each island and how she had met Tapu Bulu in Haina Desert when she was just seven. "I would imagine so! Still, to meet a legendary face to face at such a young age... Tapu Bulu must have seen something in you. Still, I can't help but wonder; what were you doing in the desert?" Lakshmi asked with a frown. That sounded rather dangerous, but they weren't going to pry if Zoey didn't want to elaborate.
"You think so?" Lakshmi chuckled at the suggestion that he and the tapu would get along well. "I am certain you will meet again. While it is true the world has grown more dangerous lately, legendaries are hearty figures, and ones that most would not dare to interfere with. That's not to say that some have not tried, but it generally ends quite poorly for them." Lakshmi suggested with a light scoff. "So that's one legendary... But you said you had met two? Who is the other?" Lakshmi's mint green eyes shone with childlike wonder and curiosity as they eagerly awaited Zoey's answer.

☆ ☆【Eir’s eyes widened in awe at Jasmine’s confirmation that there were indeed Vulpix and Ninetales similar to their particular subspecies that also lived on Mt. Silver, she’d never heard of other ice Ninetales existing in other areas of the world outside of Mt. Lanakila. Though assuming the climate at Mt. Silver was pretty similar it wouldn’t be too surprising that other Ninetales like them could exist there.”Wooow, that’s amazing! Your master mentioned studying on Mt. Silver with the monks that live there. How did you two end up meeting?”she asked, face alit with an almost childish wonder as she wagged her tails eagerly. She nodded in agreement at Jasmine’s remark of it being warmer around here.”Yeah, I mean it’s not too bad, but I’ve kinda gotten used to the warmer areas since it’s been so long that I was last at Mount Lanakila,”she chipped in, tilting her head slightly in thought,”I’ve even been to this one mountain Zoey lives close to in Hoenn, it’s really big and smoky and full of hot lava stuff. I think they call it… Big Chimney or something like that. The volcano park over in Alola reminded me a lot of that, but a lot more steamy than smoky. But it's definitely much warmer in those kinds of places than here.”
Zoey couldn’t help but smile at the awe in Lakshmi’s eyes as she spoke of encountering two legendary Pokemon, a bit glad that he didn’t brush it off as a ridiculous claim that she might’ve made up for the sake of attention. As much as she’d like to humor him with such stories, they had more important things to focus on first such as helping Liancha with figuring out a plan to hopefully capture this troublesome Shadow Pokemon once and for all. The woman decided to enlist Lukas’s help to pin down the Chimchar long enough for the Cresselia to work her hypnosis magic and put it to sleep before returning it to its Pokeball, knowing the Incineroar was strong enough to hopefully hold it down and withstand any attacks it might use against him. However, she could tell that Lakshmi was rather uneasy with entrusting such a task to the wrestler, and in all fairness Zoey couldn’t blame him. Frankly, she was a bit worried as well even as she backed up Lakshmi and sternly told Lukas not to go overboard since they simply wanted to restrain the Chimchar rather than completely knock it out. Incineroar were notorious both for their ruthlessness in battle and for their tendency to completely ignore any commands from their trainers if they didn’t feel like listening. As uncertain as Zoey was she really did want to put her trust in her Pokemon, and hopefully Lukas understood that.
The Incineroar was admittedly a bit more reluctant and disappointed that he wouldn’t be able to showcase his strength as he wanted, though he was still willing to agree. He would have to restrain himself for this, something that he wasn’t exactly used to, but it was clear that being able to pull this plan off was important to both Zoey and their apparent new companion. While he wouldn’t exactly like it, he could see that his trainer trusted him to do the right thing when the opportunity came. Lakshmi spoke once more, warning that this was a very delicate situation and that if their plan failed they probably wouldn’t get another chance to contain it.”Understood,”Lukas growled, nodding in affirmation. He had no intent of screwing this up if it could be helped, even if it meant that he couldn’t go all out like he was used to. Zoey was more than happy when Runa and her Arcanine companion volunteered to step in as backup in the event something went wrong, and that in case the Chimchar managed to escape Lukas’s grasp they should be able to catch it or at least delay it from getting away. ”Thanks, we’ll definitely need all the help we can get, if this doesn’t work than I ain’t sure what will,” she said gratefully.
With a plan of action in mind, Zoey pitched in with helping Lakshmi as they scattered berries about their location in hopes of luring the Chimchar out as per Runa’s suggestion, now all that was left was to wait. Lukas was already in position to pounce as soon as the opportunity was right, with Runa and her Arcanine partner spread out on each side of the clearing as they waited in the wings for the target to show itself. The dark-furred Lucario kept her aura radar on high alert, scanning around for any sign of its ominous aura among the trees in anticipation. Meanwhile the blue dog kept her nose to the breeze, sniffing about for the Chimchar’s telltale scent, tense and ready to leap into action at the drop of a pin.
Taking a deep breath, Zoey stood by Lakshmi as they waited for the Chimchar to arrive possibly soon, hoping that their plan would indeed go off without a hitch. Unless Murphy’s Law really had it out for them today for some reason, surely there was a good chance they’d succeed, right? She was more than happy to distract herself from the tension to focus on telling Lakshmi the story of how she met Tapu Bulu out in the Haina Desert at the ripe young age of seven. Of course, she’d expected that he would’ve at least read up a little on the guardian deities of Alola, though he was happy to listen all the same as she gave a brief description of each of the Tapus before launching into her encounter with the gentle guardian of UIa’Ula. She gave a bright smile at Lakshmi’s amazement that she’d met a legendary up close and personal at such a young age, and that Tapu Bulu must have seen something special in her for them to have met and become such good friends. Still, the question of what she’d been doing out there in the desert was inevitable, and even though she’d completely expected Lakshmi to pop the obvious inquiry she still couldn’t help the discomfited grimace that crossed her face. ”Ah… Well, it’s a bit of a long, complicated, n’ very personal story that I don’t really wanna get into… Not right now, at least,” she said, biting her lip and averting her gaze.
She wasn’t going to just outright tell him to his face that she wasn’t exactly comfortable enough to trust that kind of information to him, but she hoped he understood nonetheless… She really did want to trust him, and his persona did come off to her as very kind, accepting, and trustworthy. Still, just taking things at face value had come with far more dire consequences than she’d been equipped to handle, and that wasn’t a mistake she was eager to relive. Taking a breath, she brought her eyes back to his and gave him a small smile. ”Maybe later, yeah?” she offered, wanting to at least leave the door open a little for further down the line, ”The least I can really tell ya right now, though... The implications for me bein’ out in the desert as a lil’ kid, well… they ain’t very nice, if ya catch my meanin’.” Her smile wavered a touch as she spoke the words, just enough to give a little hint without completely stating it outright.
She was more than happy to quickly shift the topic over to something a bit more lighthearted as she suggested that Lakshmi and Tapu Bulu would get along well together if they got the chance to meet. ”I definitely think so, ya kinda remind me of him a lil’. Non-violent ‘cept for self-defense, carin’ for Pokemon n’ treatin’ ‘em with respect, at peace with nature n’ all that stuff, practically two peas in a pod I’d say~” she laughed, though her mirth hardly lasted as she spoke of seeing her old friend again and hoping he was holding up well after so many years. She nodded as Lakshmi voiced his agreement, and assuring that in spite of the growing dangers with more criminal organizations on the rise most would hardly dare to think of messing around with legendary Pokemon. Of course that wasn’t to say that some haven’t tried, but in such cases it often ended very badly for the interlopers. ”Yeah, yer definitely right ‘bout that,” she agreed, knowing full well that while Tapu Bulu was typically gentle and non-confrontational he was truly a force to be reckoned with when angered. According to tales from numerous sources, including her Amá, the guardian had warded off thieves who attempted to steal from his ruins by pulling up trees and swinging them about wildly. And even today the ruins of the Tapu Village still stood as a testament and a warning of the sheer destruction Tapu Bulu’s wrath was capable of.
Even so, as much as she didn’t want to consider the possibility that a criminal would be able to capture and control a legendary for their own ill intent, as slim as it might be it could still very well be probable… Especially when such technology existed like the often sought after Master Ball that was capable of catching any Pokemon without any chance of failure… Taking a deep breath and pushing those negative thoughts to the back of her mind, Zoey focused back on Lakshmi as he asked who the second legendary she’d met was. A warm smile crossed her face as she noted the almost childish curiosity in the man’s eyes, well she certainly couldn’t say no to that. And it really made her feel happy that he was willing to listen to her stories, even if they might not be particularly interesting. ”Ah yeah, the second instance of me meetin’ a legendary was at this Halloween festival thing I went to a while back that was in Kalos,” she continued, ”Apparently at some point Lukas n’ Jarl ended up befriendin’ a Zeraora that was hangin’ ‘round there, and he chose to join me on the condition that I’d take him with me back to Alola.” Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully as she held a hand to her chin.
”I don’t know a lot ‘bout Zeraora as a legendary, to be honest, but I know Kalos is a pretty odd place to find it since it’s actually native to Alola,” the woman reached down and gently tapped Storm’s Pokeball on her belt, ”But apparently he knows somethin’ ‘bout some kinda weird other dimension that supposedly exists outside our own, and that there’s these strange sorta beasts that may or may not be Pokemon that live in it. Unfortunately his memories ‘bout it are kinda muddled, so he hasn’t been able to really tell me much else as far as explicit details go.” She looked towards Lakshmi curiously, wondering if maybe he’d heard of such a phenomenon or had read about it during his time with those monk guys. It was probably quite unlikely, especially since such information was usually classified and kept under strict lock and key away from the prying eyes of the general public. ”I’ve heard bits n’ pieces ‘bout these weird creatures showin’ up in Alola outta the blue from time to time when I was growin’ up there. But I’ve never actually seen one for myself, not yet at least…” Her thoughts flashed back to those weird shard things she’d been gathering from defeating the Totem Pokemon, and Storm mentioning that she could use them to summon such a being into their world if she chose to once she’d gathered enough. Curious as she was to try it, somehow she felt that doing so could be quite risky since she knew nothing about what they were or how dangerous they might be, or if they could even be captured. It could be worth a further investigation, though… and hopefully it wouldn’t end in her possibly dying horribly in the process.】☆ ☆
